The car is a 1960 Ford Convertible.
The owner/driver is James (Buck) Skaggs of Corydon, IN.
Buck owned and drove many drag cars/motorcycles in the 50's and 60's including some very fast (for that time) flathead Fords.

1953 Oldsmobile owned by Joe Pruitt of Bowling Green, Ky shown with just a few of the Trophy's won with this car.
Car was run at Beech Bend, Union Hill,Tn, Clarksville Tn, Campbellsville, Hardinsburg and more. It ran L/SA.
This car was retired and used to pull a 1949 Oldsmobile Coupe that I painted Black and White also. That car ran M Stock. That car was sold to someone in Louisville in 1966 I think. Then I lost count of it. Would like to know if someone has pictures of the 49 after it went to Louisville or has any info about it. (email to joepruitt@insightbb.com)
When Red Boiling Springs Tennessee opened a new drag strip, I forget the year I sold 75 Trophy's to them and Elmo Guy and Dickie Ogles sold more than that I am sure.
